- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “In April 2025, The Alfred Tennyson (Belgravia) undertook a rebranding exercise on its first-floor restaurant alongside a minor refreshment of the space. The first-floor restaurant was renamed Alf's.”
- “As at 28 December 2025, the Group has net current liabilities of £6,188,624 (2024: liabilities £2,051,432). The increase in the liability position is driven by the bank loan classification changing from a long-term creditor in the prior year to a short-term creditor in the current year.”
- “In March 2026, the Group signed a new lease for a site located in Belgravia taking the total number of sites in the Cubitt House Group to 9. The new site which has a basement bar, ground floor pub, first floor restaurant and 10 bedrooms will be named The Duke of Connaught and is expected to launch in early 2027.”
- “On 22nd April 2026, Young & Co's Brewery P.L.C completed the acquisition of the Cubitt House Group. The sale of the Group and Company is considered beneficial to both the operations of the Company and the wider shareholders.”
